I think this was a good fold... but then again, I just bumped to $25NL at FullTilt and am still a little skittish about the $... I only had 20 hands on villain, and he ran 11.1/11.1 for that sample. Not sure how valuable that is... Anyhoo, I put him two pair KJ or a set when he RR pushed. Okay fold?

Do you really think a set plays the hand this fast? The only hand in his range that beats you IMO is KJ. I see people doing this with draws and TP often enough to warrant a call.

4x RR, when I've shown solid agression on all streets... yeah, I could see it as being a set. Esp if he wants to lock it up before the river drops another spade.

Right or wrong, here's my thought process...

He's only played 10% of his hands so far and he chooses to call me OOP in the blind. Checks and then calls a PSB on the Flop... probes out w/ a less than 1/2 psb on the Turn and then pushes over my (albeit a little light...) raise.

Based on his VPIP, I figure 22+, Axs or broadway hand. I figure KK is out as would have RR me PF. AK unlikely as I have AA. I can't see any underpair taking the line he did w/ a K on the board unless he setted. The only other option I could see was two pair... and KJ is in his range.

I considered it could be a total bluff, but do I really want to risk about 60BB on that?

Dunno... maybe I just overthunk it..... wouldn't be the first time.

 i think its pretty close to being a call. You are getting pretty good pot odds and his line is suspect. I don't think i'd fault u either way, this is a decent fold.

 Very well played hand.
I think you are ahead very occasionally but behind almost always. You are playing a classic AK/KK line - and villain is still happy to get their stack in. To me that means that they are ahead of KK, means they are also ahead of AA (they re-raise AA pre).
don't raise with the straight flush bro, nobody ever gonna call that shit
allin, reload, repeat

 Probably a good fold. However, sometimes you're giving it up to something like T9ss.
